Guess it's time for a new Front Bumper

well i kept calling the shop and emailing asking for the tracking number and thats when they finally shipped it out. idk man, hope you get it soon or at least a phonecall or something back!

 

ya I'll give Scotty a call later today about it. he's a one man shop i think so it's understandable if it takes a little bit longer

 

x2 on Elite Offroad!

 

Good to know, i didnt know it was a solo operation but i know that i had read good things about his bumpers and especially the new design over on ttora so i thought i take a shot at it plus everyone it seems like has the TG so i wanted to be a bit different!

 

He might have some office people, but I'm pretty sure he's the only one doing the fabwork. And I hear ya about the TG thing, that's one of the reasons I went with Scottys.

 

what's TG?

 

Trail-gear.com

 

Fail Gear?

 

It's usually Scotty and one other guy doing everything. I've been in the shop a few times and they're always busy as hell, with several projects going at the same time.

 

Ah ok.

I secretly want to keep watching the build thread for his sons runner...so im alright with waiting a bit

 

I like my TG

 

i like the all pro bumper... new is expensive... but u can just use the insurance check.. or find one used.

 

I notice that nobody has mentioned N-Fab's PreRunner Bumper.

Any particular reason? Should I remove it from my list of possibilities?

 

That's not really a bumper, it's more like a light bar and I doubt it would hold up if you actually used it like a bumper.

 

nothing against it, its still 2nd or 3rd on my list! It just seems like everyone these days are going with the trail gear.

 

We're not a solo operation. I have one guy fabbing bumpers pretty much all day, and another doing sliders. Right now, we are pretty much at a 2-3 day turn time(if that) on building/shipping since we build each one to spec. I have four bumpers leaving the shop today.

We try to stay on top of our orders as much as possible. In fact, we have a couple of the earlier 84-95 bumpers in stock and ready to ship immediately. Tacomas are a couple days at most.

 

Don't really understand all the TG haters, but how does the saying go? "opinions are like a$$holes..." No complaints at all with my TrailGear.

 

The shippping issue wasnt a big deal with mine, i was just curious since i hadnt recieved the tracking numer in a week and its good to know about the 84-95 bumpers cause i know someone right up that ally that is looking
!

& yours has got to be the best looking one on here! Your whole truck is an inspiration to alot of people on here. I wasnt hating on it, just wanted something a little different and after pricing the two TG came out about even with AOR, but slightly cheaper...to me it seemed like i was getting a bit more with the Addicted bumper...& i didnt really care for the hitch up front so i opted for the skid instead

 

box rocket, did the light hoop come cut so you could weld it right on, or did you have to cut out the ends of the light hoop before you could weld it on?

Im probably going to get the TG low-profile when it comes time, and love the look of yours w/ the light hoop.

 

You will have to notch the ends before you weld the hoop on.
